A crime spree across three RCMP jurisdictions in central Alberta has resulted in 78 charges being laid against four people.
On Nov. 17 at around 7:15 a.m., a gas and dash in Spruce View, Alta. was reported to the Innisfail RCMP. The two vehicles involved reportedly drove west toward Caroline, so RCMP in Rocky Mountain House were contacted.
Officers came across the two vehicles, one of which RCMP said was previously stolen from Red Deer, at the intersection of Highway 22 and Highway 54 at around 8 a.m. They attempted to pull the two over, but the drivers drove away again.

Inside the vehicles, police said they found stolen credit cards, bank cards and cheque books, along with counterfeit Canadian and American currency. A BB gun, methamphetamine and marijuana were located in one of the vehicles, RCMP said.
Dylan Steinbach, 24, of Innisfail is facing 15 charges, including theft of fuel, seven counts of possession of stolen property and one count of flight from police.
